* •‘‘/’/r S r CE" OR “NO FENCE?"
This. /lUQStLon .is arousing a great deal
ofattention and discussion in Georgia. It
is one of vast import to the present and
corning generations. Therefore, it should
lie met with calmness and deliberation as
to its merits nmv and for the future. The
editor of Thk Free Press was opposed to
the “no fence’’ side of the question, when
left to a vote of the people of Bartow
county a lew years ago, but did not vote
on either side for the reason that he
thought it proper that the solution of the
matter should be left to the farmers
themselves. We now confess that our
mind has undergone a change, after be
coming familiar with the operations of
the “stock law” as detailed through the
press and otherwise by those who have
triedit. In every instance, so far as we
can learn, the “stock law” is very popu
lar wherever it is in operation.
It reduces the expenses of the farmer
by having no fences to keep up, except
to enclose his stock in well prepared pas
tures. The extra expense and trouble in
keeping up miles of fences can be divert
ed to the breeding and propagation of
finer stock, which will be more than re
munerative in their enhanced, value. The
farmer will take three times better care
of his fine stock than he does now of liis
“scrub” animals. One fine milker of four
to five gallons of the lactic fluid will
more than cover the value of a dozen
gaunt and angling creatures, and will
more than feed herself, independent of
the value of the other six. Fine stock,
wherever raised, are not allowed to run
at large.
The “no fence” law is only a question
of time. The problem of timbei, with
which to make fencing, is already a se
rious question, even in Bartow county.
It would be wrong to use up the timber
that will be needed for building and oth
er purposes in the future. It v/ould be
wrong to our children and future genera
tions. All truly good and great people
do not live for themselves, but for pos
terity. lienee, it is all-important that
the fjuestion of “fence,” or “no fence?”
should be viewed in this light. That “no
fence” may impose hardship upon cer
tain classes for a few years, may not be
doubted, but cheerfully and honestly
conceded; yet, in a very few years, the
good results would be so great in the
growth of general wealth that all would
wonder why “stock laws” should not
have existed long since.
We give the foregoing as to our own
views at present as we see the subject.
We hope the farmers may be induced to
discuss this subject freely and in kind
spirit, either for or against such a law.
The columns of The Free Press are
open to them lor short and lucid articles
on the subject.
“ TIIE OLD TICKET."
And now it comes to pass that “Tilden
and Hendricks” have settled their mis
understand in# and are willing for the
nomination of the “old ticket” fo* the
presidency next year by the democracy.
It will be a sad day’s work for the na
tional democracy when it shall put for
ward the “old ticket” for the next presi
dential campaign. If that is done, the
“old ticket” will certainly be defeated,
in our humble judgment. It was once
lairly elected, and did not have the moral
courage to demand in a way its
rights, and thereby the will of the major
ity ot the people of the Union was de
feated.
The truth is, Mr. Tilden is too old and
infirm. lie lias lost the vigor of man
hood, and although “Barkis is willing,”
we do hot believe that Tilden’s “bar’l”
can save him from defeat in the event of
his nomination for president. Old man
Hendricks is getting too old, also, and
hence it is our humble opinion that the
“old ticket” would be a fraud upon the
democracy of this country should it be
placed for the next presidency.
As between Tilden and Arthur, we
could not vote, as we now feel; if forced
to do so, w r e believe we should vote for
Arthur. Arthur has made a good presi
dent. His inaugural was the best we ever
read, and his administration is not lack
ing in ability and conservatism.
SEX A7 OR BROWN SCORES ANOTHER.
The great combination ot railroads in
Georgia scores another tightening grasp
of Senator Brown’s powei in Georgia.
It virtually gives him supreme power in
the management of the railroad system
of the state. Of all the men that ever
lived in Georgia, Senator Brown wields
the greatest power in the affairs of the
state, and the people pay to him a trib
ute that would bedazzle a prince. They
pay him a handsome fortune in the lease
of the state road, and in that of the state
convicts. He is United States senator,
besides having his fingers in other pies
that belong to the people.
When ive think of all these things, we
must know" that the late combination of
the railroads Of Georgia is but the scoriug
of more wealth and pow;er for Senator
Brown. If he should live ten or twenty
years longer and continues to grasp pow
er aahe haS since the war, he w ill be the
autocrat of Georgia as he is the “boss” of
the organized democracy, at whose bid
ding organized democrats yield the most
servile obedience in all matters pertain
ing to the policy and methods of “the
party.”

PROHIBITION IN BARTOW.
Dr. Raker Gives his Reasons Wliy he !
Opposed die Rill |n the Senate. gjji
Carters viyys, la., Oct. 0, 188$.
To the Editor of The Free Tress: * ‘ '*3
It may not be amiss for me to state a ■
few reasons that induced me to oppose j
the local option bill for this county that 1
was before the legislature at its recent ,
session ; and especially so, as the bill, in t
its terms, in a seductive way, seemed to :
be democratic, in this, that it left the
question of “prohibition” or “no prohi
bition” to the voters of the county. I
could see no reason at this time of get
ting up excitement and hard feelings be
tween neighbors and friends. 1 could see j
no reason tor entailing on the county the j
trouble and expense of an election on this
question, now disconnected with any
other election. Such an election must
of necessity, at the end of this and the
beginning of another year, derange
the labor of the country for at least
one month, and the loss of time and
in labor would have amounted to thou
sands of dollars, and there would, in
the excitement, almost sure to have been
more or less of warm blood and perhaps
murder. Say what you may, this move
was of a monopolii leal character, or in
the views of some a religious move, and
all such religious crusades are attended
with much feeling, and crimes against
society and the law. They are attended
with the fiercest fanatical enthusiasm;
and men intoxicated with such excite
ment, while, under ordinary circum
stances, are good, law-abiding oßJacns,
lose their balance and become fierce
monomaniacal partisans, and are drawn
to acts of desperation. I did not care to
see the county, when it was quiet and all
was peace and prosperity, pass, for no
cause, through such a bitter fanatical tor
nado. Had there been any very great
crisis made from “King Alcohol” upon
the country at this time, L should have
deemed the disease or trouble worthy of
the effects of the remedy.
But, as the supreme court, in a case
that went up from the court of ordinary
on a mandamus from either Terrell or
Randolph county had decided that the
depository of the issue of whisky license,
let it be either a municipal government
or the ordinary, had a perfect right to
withhold the issue of whisky license at
their own discretion, I could not see why
those who were opposed to the sale of
whisky could not come back home and
petition the different town authorities
and the ordinary not to issue licenses,
and in this way stop the sale of whisky
without the expensive machine of legis
lation and without taking up the time ol
the country in such an expensive way.
And, should the ordinary or the town
authorities not heed their petition, then,
in the next ordinary’s race or canvass,
why, maivc the issue direct on that. And,
in the case of the city of Cartersville,
which, with one single exception at the
time, was the only place in the county
where .whisky was sold the3 r could make
the issue for mayor and aldermen about
the first of December, which was a
month or two sooner than they could by
their bill. Adairsville had stopped the
sale of whisky through the town author
ities, their license depository, and they
can do so again, when they get ready,
by making the whisky question an issue
in their town election, should a majority
of their people or voters so desire; and
so can Cartersyille or any other incorpo
rated town in the county, should a ma-
jority of their voters so desire. Then
why make such an ludividUal issue?
What is the use of it? I, like the fifteen
hundred or sixteen hundred voters and
property holders from the county who
petitioned the legislature against such an
election, could see no necessity of dis
turbing the laborers and planters of the
country with such an issue at this time,
when the only place that was selling it in
the county had a perfect right to settle it
for themselves at any time. Why trouble
the country people with your own evil?
Settle it among yourselves, as the law al
lows you. Make the issue in your tow r n
election at the coming election for mayor
and aldermen, and if the depository of
your whisky license is not now of a com
plexion to suit you, why, change it, if
you think your popular will is wrought
up to that state of feeling. I know some
people think no trouble could have come
out of an election on the whisky question
before the people at this time. But I
know more trouble has grown out of the
burdensome, vexatious question of taxa
tion and those of a religious aud fanatical
nature than from any other. Under these
pressures men become unreasonable that
are otherwise reasonable. Think of the
troubles in days gone by, bufore, during
and after the reign of King Necotia that
attended the use of even tobacco! Any
thoughtful person must know, even in
the little area of our county, some trouble
must have attended such an election ot
so revolutionizing a character.
Now, without discussing the merits of
prohibition, or restriction, or non-prohi
bition, I do propose to discuss some of
the merits of that iniquitous and nefa
riously anti-democratic bill that was be
fore the legislature for this county.
First, it changed that rule of law that
lias existed from the time iu 1215 that the
indignant Barrons assembled at Rune
mede to define the royal prerogative and
secure the rights of all classes of subjects,
be they high or low, from the most ty
rannical and opressive rule of King John,
of England—the’ day and occasion of the
celebrated “magua oliarta,” which was
that the state must make out the guilt of
die accused beyond a reasonable doubt.
This bill made the defendant prove his
innocence beyohd a reasoalfble doubt. It
changed the burden of proof. Such a law,
looking so glaringly to the destruction of
boasted American constitutional liberties
and freedom, and tu such oppression, I
would oppose wherever 1 may find it. I
would as soon support a measure looking
to the impairment of our prided rights of
trial by jury. The operations of the bill
would have subjected, perchance, every
physician in the county to indictment,
aud would have, undef inany circum
stances, forced them, on investigation of
certificates, befbre the graud jury, and
after a bill was found, on trial before a
traverse jury, to have exposed the ethics
of their profession, to their great dis- j
comfit and of their patients. Such j
a bill would, had the execution of its i
provisions ‘been left to its friends, greatf y j
increased the misdemeanors in our coun- ;
ty, crowded our dockets with indictments
against our citizens and taxed our tax
payers to overburden in the oppression
of OuF citizens. What would have been
its effects upon our poor people? Now,
when they need a little whisky tor a sick
family, they need no prescription. They j
have to pay no physician one dollar to i
prescribe. They can, for twenty-five I
cents, get what they may need, but, un- i
der this bill, they would have to have (
paid a physician one dollar to prescribe
it, and then pay a drug store for medi
cated, impure whisky, which would
have a monopoly on the whisky trade
fifty cents to one dollar for what now
I costs them twenty-five cents, and, tor
I the want of such sum, many of their
! families might suffer, yes, even die for
want of it. Those in better circumstances
could send to cities and get it by the keg.
Personally, it would have been to my in
terest for that bill to have become a law.
I could have gone into the drug business
and kept whisky and prescribed it. But
I was under oath, not acting for myself,
but for the people, and as a legislator. I
had to observe those cardinal rules of
legislating: “l)o the greatest good to the
greatest number; take care of the weak;
the strong can take care of themselves.”
If societ3 r , the churches and Sabbath
schools aJ our common SOIIOOIS and
parents, around their fireside, will do
their duty, they will soon have public
opinion brought up to a standard where
we will need no law on this subject. Let
parents, who are so afraid their children
will get to drinking, take them off the
streets, where they are sitting and loaf
ing as vagabonds, and put them to work,
and work them so as to have them retire
earty at night and rise early ot morning,
and go to work, and thus have no time to
loiter about bar-rooms and billiard tables,
and they need have no fear of them. Idle
ness begets drink.
Now, there is either local option or re
striction in about one hundred and six of
j the one hundred and thirty-seven eoun
| ties in the state, and in twenty of the re
maining thirty-one counties, there is no
bar-room, and, if parents would follow
the advice above indicated, there would
soon be no bar-rooms irr the remaining
ten or twelve counties, and that without
additional law on the subject.
I have given this local option some
thought. 1 have read the Eclectic on the
Maine option laws. I have, with inreiest,
perused the able messages of the governor
of Kansas, a state that has prohibition in
its constitution. I have seen how it has
increased the number of clubs and the
amount drank by them. I have seen
how it has impeded immigration, arrest
ed the production of wealth and the. in
crease of population. I have seen how
statistics show the increase in the con
sumption of whisky, where there has
been prohibition or restriction. 1 have
seen how it lias increased the use of
whisk3 r in the family, and thus done
damage b3’’ bad example, etc. I have
learned that prohibition is not prohibi
tion, and that restriction did not restrain.
Ask the railroads and express how much
more they carry now into the counties of
this state, where there are restriction
and prohibition laws, than they did
formerly, and you will be surprised.
Ask of the steamboat line running from
Rome into Alabama, where there is pro
hibition, h\r much more whisky they
now carry than before. Ask the whisky,
men of Rome and other cities of the state
if they do not do as good business now as
the3 r did belore one hundred and six of
our one hundred and thirty-seven coun
ties had restriction or prohibition laws.
You will be surprised at their answer,
and learn that such laws only change the
nature of sales and do not lessen, but in
crease, consumption.

ONCE MORE.
New York Sun. j
A good many minds have been busy of
late in studying and expounding the
philosophy of newspapers, and here
comes our esteemed contemporary, the
Telegraph and Messenger, of Macon,
Georgia, with its contribution to the de
bate :
“The newspaper of the future will not
he a huge aggregation of long-winded
dissertations and lengthy accounts of
happenings here and” there. The singu
lar success of the Sun leaves no room for
doubt on this point.”
This seems to us only partly true. The
singular snecess of the Sun has, in our
judgment, been due not only to its short
articles, but quite as much to it§ long
ones. Extended,jninute, and circum
stantial accounts of happenings here
and there are just as necessary in a
newspaper as brief, condensed, and gen
eral accounts. The valuable newspaper
is the one which knows how to discrimi
nate, which gives a brief account of that
which ought to be briefly treated, and a
full and voluminous account of that
which should be fully and voluminously
discussed.
The man ot genius in the profession of
newspaper making is the man of the
highest and surest judgment.
But, while there may be room for ques
tion on these points, there is one subject
respecting which no question is possible.
The newspaper of the future will not be
a huge advertising sheet, overloaded
with stupid supplements which are
thrown away by the buyer as soon as
the pap4r comes into his hands. The
newspaper of the future will contain few
advertisements or none at all; and, if it
contains any, they will he paid for at no
puny iateg.

THE OLD, TICKET#
Tfldn unU Hendrick* Agra* to Run tlie
President!*! Again. |
Minneapolis, M inn., October B. —The
Trfi>un publishes to-day a dispatch from
an authoritative quarter, to the following j
effect: Despite the many assertions said
to be made on authority from Gravstqne,
that Tilden would, under no circumstan
ces, consent to be the presidential candi
date of the democratic jparty in ISB4, it
may be safely set down that a desperate ;
effort will be made to nominate the old |
ticket, with the full knowledge and con
sent of the two gentlemen most directly |
interested. A short time ago Hendricks
made a quiet visit to Tilden and effected
an adjustment of the misunderstanding
between them since the campaign 0f1876,
after which, he disclosed the real object
of his visit by trying to induce Tilden to
allow his name to go before the national i
convention. After an extended conver- J
sation in which many objections advan
ced by Tilden were met, and satisfactori-
ly an wered by Hendricks, Tilden said:
“I shouldn’t mind It, only for the labor
of making another campaign.” 'Io which
Hendricks replied, assuring Tilden that
the campaign was alread3 r made, and he
had but to speak the word to secure the
nomination. This seemed to satisfy Til
den and they parted with the understand
ing that the “old ticket” will be put be
fore the people in 1884. Shortly after
Air. Hendricks’s visit John Kelly made
a journey to Gra3 T stone on the same bus
iness, presumably on a hint dropped by
Hendricks. Kelly assured Tilden that
he had buried the hatchet, and was anxi
ous to see the old ticket renominated,
and would work hard and faithfully to
accomplish that end, and also to secure
their election. It is intimated that
Hendricks is actuated by the fact that
Tilden is an old man, and decidedly
feeble, and that Hendricks would have
much to do of the work of the presidenti
al office, and would probably 7 become
president before the end of the term, by
reason of Tilden’s death or total disabili
ty. Kelly wants Tilden nominated so as
to pay oft old political debts, and it would
retire Cleveland and others for whom he
has a strong dislike.

PRESSING HEWITT TO THE FRONT.
In a newspaper interview, published
some months ago, Senator Pugh, of Ala
bama, expressed himself a$ favoring the
nomination of Congressman Abram S.
Hewitt, of New York, as the democratic
candidate for the presidency next year.
In an interview published to-day in the
New York Herald the senator again ad
vocates the nomination of Mr. Hewitt.
Among other things, he says: “Since I
first mentioned him as our best man I
have received many letters from leading
democrats in ui3 r own state and other
southern states approving my suggestion.
I happen to have with me one of* these
letters from Honorable A. H. Buckner,
member-elect of the house, who has been
chairman of the committee on banking
and currency, and is one of (he ablest
and most influential members from the
west. You are at liberty to publish liis
letter ;” and Senator Pugh handed the
reporter the following letter, dated from
Mexico, Mo.;
llon. J. L. Pugh —My dear sir: lam
gratified to find from the public press
that you favor the nomination of Mr.
Hewitt, of New York, as our candidate
for the presidency next year. I agree
with you fully that if the east is to furn
ish our candidate we can do no better
than take Mr. Hewitt. There is no man
of anj r party that has won a more envi
able reputation for liberal and compre
hensive statesmanship, independence of
thought and action, unswering integrity
and varied information than has Mr.
nevvitt during the short period he has
been in public life. A statesman, as con
tradistinguished from a politician, and a
thorough aud practical man of business,
deeply imbued with Jeffersonian democ
racy, his nomination would make a de
parture in presidential nominations and
in partisan tactics that would be highly
appropriate to the times and to the great
question of taritl reform and internal and
external taxation, the permanent settle
ment of which cannot be postponed many
years. A ripe scholar and an en
thusiastic student, accustomed to labor
and in the prime of life, there is no man
ot any party in the east of presidential
stature who should have a more enthusi
astic following, or who is more in sym
pathy with the needs of the new south
and the growing west.
With sentiments of high regard, I am
very truly your friend.

REPUBLICAN BETTING ON HOADLY.
Washington, October s. —Republicans
here are very much disturbed by the
developments of the past four days re
garding the Ohio campaign. They allege
that large sums ot money are being put
into the campaign by New York dem
ocrats, and that the fight is to te made a
desperate one on election day. A prom
inent republican who is on the inside ol
political affairs here said to-day lie was
convinced that Hoadly would be elected.
“I am so much convinced of it,” he said,
“that I am betting on Iloadly and taking
all the bets 1 can get, and advising my
friends to do so too. Tilden and other
New York people are putting large sums
into the fight, and no effort will be omit
ted to elect Iloadly.”

RAILROAD matters.
A Combination between tlie Central and
the Western and Atlantic Railroads.
Macon Telegraph.]
While in Savannah a few days since,
we learned that a plan was in process of
maturity by which the Central and West
ern and Atlantic railroads would be com
bined for the mutual protection of the
stockholders of each and the commercial
interests of the state. Georgia is the only
state between the Potomac and the Mis
sissipi in which the majority of the rail
road property is owned by the people of
the state. In all the others, this im
mense property has long since passed
from the control of the people, who, from
every consideration of sound policy,
should have owned it in perpetuity, and
is now in the hands of foreign syndi
cates.
The earnings of this property, which,
under proper development, should in
crease from year to year, and which
should accrue to the people of the states
in which it is owned and operated, goes
instead to the money centres of other
states and into the pockets of the people
of the north. We do not blame the cap
italists who own this property tor having
bought it when and at what they did.
This they had a right to do. The short
sightedness, not to say folly, of the peo
ple of the south, in permitting it, will he
regretted by them and their children for
generations to come.
We have to thauk the late William M.
Wadley for the fact that the railroads of
Georgia have not been absorbed as those
of other states. In the system of roads
now controlled by the Central, the state
it covered and protected and the majority
of this property is owned by the people
of the state.
We regard this as fortunate for the
people of Georgia. That the safety of
this property, as well as the commercial
interests of the state, are in jeopardy
from the same financial combinations that
have absorbed this property in other
states, there can he no doubt.
The board of directors of the Central
understand this fact, and the correspond
ing importance of strengthening their
system to meet on even ground the larger
systems and combinations, so rapidly
forming this present combination, as
well as by the other important additions
thej have recently added to their system.
That Governor Brown is in thorough
sj r mpathy with them in this important
policy goes to show that he is ready, as
heretofore, to come to the front in any
emergency, when the material interests
of the people of Georgia are involved.
This is gratifying to us, as his known
strength in snob transactions carries with
it the assurance of success.
This combination means simply that
the Western and Atlantic railroad must
be maintained separately from the com
binations not identified with our ports
and state. It is the only competing line
to the West and the link that connects
the original Georgia systems with the
West. It also means that that this road,
the property of the state, largely injured
by the unwise action of the legislature in
chartering the Rome railroad, shall not
be cut off at Atlanta from connection with
our ports.
If the Western and Atlantic road is
sold at the expiration of the present lease,
Or the state should decide to re-lease it,
the legislature should see to it that it is
not closed to the system of roads south of
Atlanta, or that, in any contingency
which could possibly arise, the line com
peting with it now shall absorb it and
secure to itself the valuable and exclu
sive privileges the state threw away by
virtue of the stupidity or knavery of the
legislature that brought this competition
into life, and made it possible to effect so
seriously the railroad and commercial in
terests of the state, in the event that it
should eventually come about that this
line has secured what the state has thrown
away.
The state ami the railroads are pro
tected by the terms of the contract be
tween tlie Western anil Atlantic and the
Central until the lease expires. The
people should see to it that after this each
shall be further guarded.
Why American lawyers are needed to
defend O’Donnell, the slayer of the in
former, Carey, •is now satisfactorily ex
plained. His plea will be self-defense,
and as English lawyers know nothing
about that sort of plea—it being an Amer
ican product—the assistance of American
lawyers becomes necessary. The fact
that O’Donnell followed Carey several
thousand miles will not, perhaps, be per
miUeff'to weaken the plea.
It is said that many New York ladies
take arsenic into their systems to improve
their complexions and render their figures
plump. The Treasury girls in Washing
ton who count money absorb the arsenic
from the bills. It doesn’t however, im
prove their complexions or figures. It
produces nasty sores. It makes a differ
ence, it seems, how the arsenic is taken
into the system.

FACTS!
A great many people are asking
what particular troubles Brown’s
Iron Bitters is good for.
It will cure Heart Disease, Paral
ysis, Dropsy, Kidney Disease, Con
sumption, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, and att similar diseases.
Its wonderful curative power is
simply because it purifies and en
riches the blood, thus boginning at
the foundation, and by building up
the system, drives out all disease.
A Lady Cured of Rheumatism.
Baltimore, ML, Mav 7, 1880.
My health was much shattered by
Rheumatism when I commenced
taking Brown’s Iron Bitters, and I
scarcely had strength enough to at
tend to my daily household duties.
I am row using the third bottle and I
am regaining strength daily, and I
cheerfully recommend it to all.
I cannot say too much in praise
of it. Mrs. Mary E. Brashkak,
173 Prestiaanst.
Kidney Disease Cured.
C'hristiansburg, Va,, iCtx.
Suffering from kidney disease,
from which I could get no relief, I
tried Brown’s Iron Bitters, which
cured me completely. A child of
mine, recovering from scarlet fever,
had no appetite and did not seem to
he able to eat at all. 1 gave him Iron
Bitters with the happiest results.
J. Kylk Montagu*.
Heart Disease.
Vine St., Harrisburg, Pa.
Dec. 2, 1881.
After trying different physicians
and many remedies for palpitation
of the heart without receiviug any
benefit, I was advised to try Brown’s
Iron Bitters. I have used two bot
tles and never found anything that
gave me so much relief.
Mrs. Jennie Hess.
For the peculiar troubles to which
ladies are subject, Brown’s Iron
Bitters is invaluable. Try it.
Be sure and get the Genuine.
